Abstract excerpt
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) strains isolated from healthy cattle (O111:NM, seven strains; O111:H8, three strains) in Brazil were studied and compared to previously characterized human strains in regard to their phenotypic and genotypic characteristics to evaluate their pathogenic potential. Most bovine STEC O111 strains were isolated from dairy calves, and strains with genotypes stx1 alone and...
